Stay out of my life.
You coward.
You threaten a weak girl and ruin her life,
but you act all nice in front of the others,
like you're righteous and just.
How amusing.
The real identity of our student body president.
I said, stay out of my life.
I won't get myself involved in this anyway.
I won't let the same thing happen again.
It means I'll kill you if you mess with Eun Ho.
(Kim Hee Chan)
The person you have reached is not...
Yes, Mr. Shim.
Hee Chan, don't be like this.
I'm sorry.
My lawyer will defend me anyway,
so I don't think it's necessary to have a talk.
Why would your lawyer talk to me?
Did your lawyer have a fight with me?
Just say you pushed me. Isn't it simple?
All you need to do is admit to it.
We've come this far because I can't.
Hee Chan, why don't you talk it out as friends?
You may act aggressively if you become emotional.
If that's the case, you can simply apologize.
Mr. Shim.
This isn't an elementary school.
Apologizing won't solve the matter.
What's the purpose of school violence committee?
Do you have to do this when you're classmates?
I'm sorry. I have to go for a private lesson now.
That's not going to happen.
I'm investigating the school violence case now.
Go after we're done with the investigation.
And in my opinion,
what we are doing here now...
is more important in your life than private lessons.
(School 2017, How to Endure the Weight)
(Episode 10)
(Self-evaluation questions)
It's done.
I'm done marking the expected questions.
Darn it.
I get it.
Aren't you going to check them?
I trust you.
I'll go.
What are you going to do with Eun Ho?
Do something to stop her from acting up.
I can't persuade her.
Why can't you?
You stopped Bo Ra last time.
Isn't it easier this time?
You won't be able to win against him anyway.
- Don't you know him? - I do know.
That's why I plan on seeing an end to this.
Bo Ra, you'll be the only one to get hurt.
How much more?
How much worse can it become?
Hee Chan told me to give this to you.
He says he lost his temper and made a mistake.
He's sorry.
Did he tell you to lie?
If he's that sorry, why isn't he apologizing?
Why isn't he showing his face?
We had a small fight, that's all.
I'm at the hospital now...
So please take care of it.
What is this?
Tae Woon.
Please give this to your friend, Dae Hwi.
Tell him I hope he's happy with himself...
after selling his soul and conscience.
What was that about?
Is it Hee Chan?
You're pathetic, punk.
It's a membership for summer break lectures...
for Seoyul's entrance exam.
Please persuade Eun Ho.
(Summer break lectures for Seoyul's entrance exam)
You'll win this fight anyway...
even if you don't do things like this.
But things will get complicated.
Bo Ra's case may be brought up too.
Who knows what Eun Ho will be blabbing about?
Eun Ho isn't that kind of person.
Think it over.
You people are so unsophisticated.
I'll make it direct.
Apologize and end it.
You're going to apologize?
No, make her apologize.
Then we'll let this slide and stop here.
Hee Chan's finals are coming soon.
I don't want to be stressed...
because of something so petty like this.
Honey, don't you hear a dog barking?
I know. It's strange.
Do people next door have a dog?
What you just said may work as defamation.
They didn't point her out. Why is that defamation?
They just talked about a dog barking.
You're a lawyer yourself. Shouldn't you know better?
I'm home.
Eun Ho.
Do you want to cause serious trouble?
We're confident...
that we'll punish this girl and put an end to it.
Are you really confident?
I'm confident too...
that I'll prove Hee Chan's violence against me.
Look at...
how impolite you are.
She's saying what should be said.
What are you talking about?
I'll never give in, just so you know.
And stop coming to our house...
and being all cheap.
Goodness.
Shall I open the door for you?
- Goodbye. - I won't walk you out.
(Ra Eun Ho)
It's very unexpected.
Just because... You know,
I couldn't keep my promise about patbingsu.
That's why.
Were you reminded of it just now?
I was feeling down anyway.
I was craving ice cream too.
Thanks.
You must be worried a lot.
I didn't want to lie.
To be honest,
I'm very much worried,
and I'm emotionally hurt too.
I understand.
What about you?
Are you feeling all right now?
Are you okay...
with what happened between you and Nam Joo?
These days,
I'm not feeling all right.
Gosh.
(Chicken)
We're only 18 years old.
But our lives are so full of struggles.
I know.
By the way, Eun Ho.
Well...
By any chance...
Never mind.
Dae Hwi, why do you think...
Bo Ra is being like this?
I know she witnessed it,
but she isn't saying anything.
What do you think...
happened between her and Hee Chan?
The person you have reached is not available.
Do you think...
I can do it?
Are you here to convince her?
None of your business.
I warned you, punk.
That if you mess with her, you're dead.
- If you repeat... - I'm not trash.
If you fight again,
I won't talk to either of you again.
I'll go now.
Don't worry too much.
Dae Hwi.
Bye.
Look at this.
You're just dying inside, aren't you?
Must you really...
What are you doing here anyway, at this hour?
What did he say?
I asked why you were here.
I came in case you'd be doing this.
Smiling at another guy.
Don't you dare laugh with another guy again.
Do you want to kiss my fist?
Like this?
- Hit me if you can. - Want to try me?
- Bring it. - Hey!
- Try it. - You punk.
Try me.
- My eyes. - You okay?
Sorry.
Stop that.
- Try and hit me. - Stop it!
- Hit me. - Stop it.
I'll get you.
Stay still. Don't move.
Come on.
Stop it.
Stay still.
I'll get you.
That's what you get.
Should I give up on the hearing?
They say if I apologize to Hee Chan,
they'll call it off.
Are you the Eun Ho that I know?
Why would you apologize when you did no wrong?
Are you insane?
Do you feel sick?
I wonder why everyone must suffer because of me.
My family's a mess.
They say they'll sell the house...
to hire a lawyer to fight.
That's natural. They're family.
But...
it hurts too much.
What's wrong with me?
I'm so sick of seeing...
my family suffer.
So?
You want to give up now?
I have no choice.
If I keep going,
we'll end up in court.
You may give up,
but I can't.
I refuse to see you suffer when you did no wrong.
I won't let you fight alone.
And I won't let you be lonely.
So...
Trust me.
Be strong. Let's fight...
together.
Do you think it's possible...
to fight all the way?
Where did you go?
Where's the spunky Eun Ho that will fight to death?
That's the Eun Ho that I like.
Don't smile like that! It gets me excited.
Look! My heart is pounding like crazy.
Be strong.
Bo Ra.
You still...
don't want to testify?
Sorry.
I really don't want to get involved...
with these things anymore.
Eun Ho.
You should give up too.
You can't beat him.
No.
I will do whatever it takes...
to clear my name.
If you think...
you can put trust in the things I do,
please testify for me. Please.
- What are you doing here? - Bo Ra.
Why are you here?
I told you,
that I won't give up.
I still can't believe...
you started the fight that you were punished for.
There must have been a reason.
There was no such thing.
Bo Ra. Can't you trust me...
and tell me?
Mr. Shim.
I don't trust teachers.
I need to go.
Bo Ra.
(Kim Hee Chan, listen up)
Is it wrong to put down their names?
Why?
No.
See?
You're not Eun Ho unless you fight to the death.
You make it sound like I'm a street fighter.
Who's fighting to the death?
Still, my parents...
gave me guts of steel.
They gave you way too much of that.
Want to die?
How can I die?
I need to die fighting to the death.
Die.
It's not impactful enough.
Impact.
Think about it then.
What can I do?
You know,
you're kind of a good artist.
I'm good looking,
and talented.
Whoever makes me her boyfriend...
must have saved the planet in past life.
(To you, who lies without batting an eye.)
To you, who lies...
without batting an eye.
Ra Eun Ho.
Eun Ho!
Come out. This is huge!
Someone said you were blessed with good parents.
But...
I don't envy you.
Preferential treatment and shamelessness...
that mocks fair, hard work.
I'm grateful, actually.
Thanks to you, I was able to realize...
just how beautiful my life has been.
I don't succumb to injustice.
I can fight together with my friends.
- I'm happy and proud. - How cool.
To you, who lies without batting an eye.
Look at that penmanship. Eun Ho...
- Wow. - What?
I think it's pretty.
Who's signature is this?
- 9... - 60?
Class number?
Who doodled there?
Who is it?
Hold on.
I've liked you for a while. Be strong.
Attention. Look here.
I need to check your handwriting.
- Let me see. - Give it back!
Okay. It isn't you. Not you either.
Let me see.
Let's see...
- your handwriting. - What are you doing?
- Come on. - Let go.
You need to work on your handwriting.
- What? - Let me see.
No.
Let me see.
- Let me see. - What are you doing?
Did a squid write this?
- Byung Goo. - Yes?
No, right? Pass.
Jae Hyuk. Get over here.
Is that everyone?
That's it. Seriously...
- Hey! Class 11-2! - Stop it!
Here.
My gosh.
What's your deal?
Don't think too much about it.
I just hope I could be of strength.
Regardless, thanks.
What? Thanks for what?
Is it you? Did you tell her you like her?
And our Eun Ho likes lemonade.
You don't know anything.
What's it to you?
I just want to be with her and take care of her.
Why should you take care of her?
Why should you be there when she's struggling?
Eun Ho has a lot of guys to do that for her.
- What? - What?
She... She has a lot of guys?
Yes.
Stop it. Stop.
Not long ago, a really hot guy said he liked her.
There are plenty of guys who will take care of her,
so don't mind her.
Don't mind anything he says.
Thank you for signing.
Let's meet up again later.
Why should he not mind me?
Why would you meet up with him? Don't!
Stop it.
What did he say? How long has he liked you?
What does he like?
He says he likes everything.
From head to toe.
At least he has good taste.
Are you happy?
He looked all greasy and sleazy.
Hey. He gets...
a lot of calls from talent agencies.
Why? Because he is really good looking.
Are all the good looking guys dead or something?
Seriously.
I should stop guys from saying they like you.
Maybe I'll threaten all of them one by one.
How is it...
that you think of things no one else does?
Aren't I so novel?
What if...
other guys take this opportunity to tell you...
that they like you?
I'm not that popular.
Why not?
You said you can't be late because the kids go crazy.
Your presence is crazy big.
My presence is crazy big.
Wait. Hey. That's very familiar.
You remember all sorts of things.
What?
Go inside. Go.
- Bye. - I'll wait until you do.
Go in.
Hurry.
That punk didn't follow us, did he?
That punk.
Let's talk.
Do we still have something to talk about?
Let me ask you something.
Why did you date me?
You were always cold toward me,
and I always wanted to ask you...
why you were dating me.
But I couldn't...
muster up the courage.
I dated you...
because I liked you.
But at some point,
as I started to suspect that you were lying,
my feelings changed.
Sorry.
If your feelings faded,
you should've broken up with me.
Why did you stay with me?
I didn't want to believe it.
Because you looked like it was hard for you...
to keep lying,
as it was for me.
Excuse me, Ms. Jang.
What is it now?
Did something happen...
with you and Bo Ra last year?
No.
Why are you asking that out of the blue?
Well...
Because Bo Ra seems to be avoiding you.
So? Are you saying I did something wrong?
With the incident with Bit Na,
it was clear what happened but she said she didn't,
and she admitted to hitting her too easily.
Something seemed off.
She seems to find you...
particularly uncomfortable.
I thought maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Did you like all of your teachers from school?
Pardon?
There was no misunderstanding.
I have no desire to be a popular teacher,
so please stop asking.
Ms. Jang, but still.
You could help clear Bo Ra's name. You know...
she wasn't the aggressor.
If you saw anything, if you'd tell...
I really didn't see anything.
Really?
Yes. That's what I heard.
When I was assigned here and went through training,
that's what I was told.
Then deleted documents are kept for two years?
That's right.
But they're coded,
so you have to open and check each one.
There are too many too.
I'm sure Bo Ra's session notes are in there.
(Testimony)
I found it. This is it.
(Counseling Record. Teacher: Jang So Ran)
What?
(Seo Bo Ra attacked Kim Hee Chan verbally...)
(Counseling Record. Teacher: Jang So Ran)
(Seo Bo Ra violated the rules of conduct...)
How could you do this?
It must've been hard for Bo Ra to open up to you.
That was just her side of the story.
What Hee Chan said was different.
So did you conduct a proper investigation?
Of course.
I did investigate it.
The initial report and the supplemental report...
are only a day apart.
In one day,
you met the assailant, victim, and witness,
and then made your conclusion.
And your opinion changed 180 degrees.
Is there a law against that?
We're not cops.
If we listen to all the kids like that,
we can't get anything done.
Are teachers criminals?
Ms. Jang.
Why did you become a teacher?
Because it's a decent, stable job?
Mr. Shim!
You're out of line.
Even if that were true,
this is wrong.
If you covered up the incident...
or said lies were the truth,
I cannot forgive you.
I'll uncover the truth behind Bit Na's incident,
as well as Hee Chan's assault incident...
from last year.
It's okay.
It's raining.
Take the umbrella.
You're after something else.
I am not.
Why do you...
keep yourself so locked up...
and shun other people's feelings too?
What do you know?
You're right. I don't.
I don't know what made you close your heart,
or what is making you hurt so much.
I don't know anything.
But...
I did think about it.
About how hard...
it must have been for you, all alone.
How lonely...
it must have been.
Then just leave.
Don't mind me.
So let's do it together.
It must've been hard for you to do it alone,
but if we do it together,
there may be another way.
I'll take care...
of my business.
- Stay out of it. - No.
I can't.
Don't testify.
You don't need to.
Let's just be friends.
Let's eat together,
and vent to each other.
Friends that can laugh at silly things together.
I...
don't believe in that.
I don't believe in friends or in friendship.
People saying they'll protect me...
So don't come to me again.
What is it?
It's raining.
Bo Ra!
Her body is weak due to stress,
so she needs to be careful.
Okay. Thank you.
Also, we found antidepressants...
among her things.
It looks like she took them for over a year.
She can't take them for the next two days.
- Okay. - Okay, then.
Tae Woon.
Would you give this to your friend Dae Hwi?
Tell him I hope he's happy with himself...
after selling his soul and conscience.
(You're so cool!)
(Hang in there!)
(Kim Song, Yoon Jae Hyuk, Han Yoon Hee)
(Seo Bo Ra)
Bo Ra.
Thanks.
For what?
I saw.
Your name.
I just... I didn't mean anything.
Everyone else was doing it.
No.
To me,
it's very meaningful.
It means you're cheering me on.
Why don't those lowly punks...
know their place?
I should've crushed her from the start.
Right?
Hee Chan.
Do you really...
not feel bad toward Bo Ra at all?
What did I do wrong?
Think of everything I did for her.
Bo Ra...
seems to be getting psychological help...
ever since what happened.
What does that have to do with me?
I'm getting scared.
Of what?
That what you look like now...
may be what I look like.
Everything that's going on isn't your fault,
so don't let it get to you.
Just prepare for your finals.
I'll take care of the rest.
Okay?
I'm not thinking about it.
The steering committee had a meeting.
Seems like...
the school director has it in for Eun Ho.
Why?
Tae Woon hangs out with her and causes trouble.
He must want to split them up somehow,
either by transferring or expelling her.
X!
I'll catch you for sure.
(Night Duty Office)
(X is in class 11-1?)
(Is Ra Eun Ho X's accomplice?)
How could this be?
The student evaluations were made public!
X is in our class!
X is in class 11-1.
(Ra Eun Ho, Oh Sa Rang, Hyun Tae Woon)
(Troublemaker, Prime suspect)
(Draws about X)
That means Eun Ho is the main suspect.
If Eun Ho is not X,
she may be someone's accomplice.
(I will catch X! I'll get my job back!)
(Hyun Tae Woon)
And the most recent things X did were...
exposing the math competition.
You'll win the math competition.
The person who gained from what X did...
is Dae Hwi.
(Song Dae Hwi benefited the most.)
Then X...
is Dae Hwi?
Dae Hwi.
I've been too pushy lately, haven't I?
Sorry.
I want to stay out...
of the matter with Bo Ra.
I want to ask you to do something else.
Who do you think X is?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Only our class' student evaluations were posted.
Eun Ho, who was once suspected of being X,
draws a webtoon about X.
Doesn't it fall into place?
What?
Yes, you're right.
What if Eun Ho wasn't framed,
and is the real X's accomplice?
Then we wouldn't need to even have the hearing.
She'd be expelled right away.
If I'm right,
X is likely very close to Eun Ho.
So,
find X for me.
You seem to be thinking a lot lately.
The Dae Hwi of old...
used to be so cool.
No.
"Student X"?
That's fun.
You saw that?
It's a series.
It's public for all to see.
May I ask you something?
- What? - X from your webtoon.
Is that all from your imagination?
I got the idea from the real X,
but naturally, the content is made up.
I see.
It felt so realistic, for something made up.
Hey, Hee Chan. Are you saying Eun Ho is X?
What the... That's ancient history.
Of course, Eun Ho is definitely not X.
X is someone...
with a lot going for him.
Eun Ho happens to be drawing "Student X".
She must have a model.
If you mess with Eun Ho again,
you're really dead.
What's wrong with them?
Why did they go into the teachers' office?
They even broke into...
the teachers' office together recently.
But X reported Tae Woon.
Did X report Tae Woon?
What are you staring at, you punks?
What if that was...
a fake-out to hide the real X?
Eun Ho and X...
If this is true, it should get very interesting.
What if Eun Ho wasn't framed,
and is the real X's accomplice?
Then we wouldn't need to even have the hearing.
She'd be expelled right away.
- It was adorable. - Really?
You should've seen it.
It was so cute.
There's something...
I've been curious about.
It's about X.
What do you think?
They say X is in our class.
Who do you think it is?
Be a man for once. Stop beating around the bush.
What?
Do you think I'm X?
And if I am?
What will you do?
Good.
Okay.
Maybe he was just guessing.
You have to be especially careful of Hee Chan.
It says all over his face,
that he is an evil soul.
Then you won't be able to come here for a while.
What?
Are you afraid we can't spend alone time together?
You know, you have an illness. An illness.
Go see a doctor.
Anyway,
it can't hurt to be careful for a while.
Why is Hee Chan suddenly talking about X?
Things are annoying already.
He must be after something.
After something?
Let's see...
Something important?
Hey. Your eyes are totally swollen.
Didn't you get any sleep?
The school violence hearing is today.
Would you be able to sleep?
What were you so worried about?
It'll all work out.
Don't worry.
Okay?
Let's go.
(School Violence Hearing)
We've compiled opinions of committee members...
and teachers, and we've concluded...
there is no proof that supports your position.
Thus, we have decided that you are...
the assailant in this violence incident...
Just a minute.
So, Bo Ra,
you have nothing but your testimony.
She was at the scene.
If you don't believe the witness...
I have a video that I took.
Where?
- It wasn't me. - It was you!
It wasn't me!
Then who was it?
It wasn't me!
Let go!
Hee Chan!
Tae Woon. I'm fine. I'm really fine.
There is something else I'd like to say.
I request a new hearing...
on the Seo Bo Ra and Yoo Bit Na incident.
Really?
You told Bo Ra?
She had to make a difficult decision,
so I wanted to show her I was sincere.
You...
You're really...
Do you believe me now?
If I lie to you or fail to protect you,
turn me in.
This is my way of showing you I'm being sincere.
What were you thinking?
Don't you get it?
I want to be with you.
Don't you smile either.
Why not?
Don't smile.
Why not?
Don't smile.
Why? Does seeing me smile get you excited?
- Stop it. - Does it?
What's wrong?
I'd like to report...
school violence at Geumdo High School.
I am in class 11-1.
My name is Seo Bo Ra.
Although I was the victim,
I became the assailant on the record.
What will it change?
What will you gain?
I'm not trying to gain something.
I just want to get back what you took from me.
You make it sound like I harassed you.
Anyway,
give it up.
Unless you want things to get worse.
I won't. I won't give up.
Are you kidding me?
Give it up!
Hee Chan.
Dae Hwi.
I should've apologized long ago.
It's...
It's long overdue.
I know...
you had no choice.
I used that excuse...
to come too far.
Someone asked...
if I really had to hit rock bottom like that.
If there was no other way.
Someone said...
it may be hard doing it alone,
but together,
there may be a way.
I guess...
this is when I need to be brave, right?
You already were.
I know how hard...
it must have been for you, all alone,
all this time.
Thank you...
for apologizing, even if it is late.
I plan to be brave too, now.
The matter is more serious than we thought.
We'll keep an eye on the Seo Bo Ra case...
to see how it ends.
Don't let the victim be punished wrongly,
Director Hyun.
Yes, I understand.
Hey, Bo Ra.
Did you complain to the Office of Education?
Do you think you'd actually win?
Are you afraid you'll get caught for framing me?
Are you insane? Why would I be afraid of you?
Then wait.
See how you're punished for your lies.
I won't give up easily this time,
nor will I just take it.
- What? - Why?
Will you go crying to your mommy again?
Do you want to die?
I told you,
I won't just take it anymore.
Just wait.
Wow. Bo Ra has returned. She hasn't changed at all.
Are you having fun?
I know you started the rumor.
- What do you mean? - Maybe I'll spread...
a rumor about what trash you are.
What... What did we do?
As you said,
I did date Hee Chan.
So I know a lot of fun things about you.
What is she saying?
I'm speechless.
Let's go.
Nice, Bo Ra.
Bo Ra.
- Great job. - You were so cool.
That felt so good.
- I loved it. - You were awesome.
- Awesome. - Why did you hold it in?
- I couldn't stand them. - Nice, Bo Ra.
Rumors start in unusual places.
And the gravity of them...
surfaces in unexpected places.
Just as rumors don't start on their own,
we are not alone.
Being together doesn't resolve everything,
but being together...
at least lets us withstand it.
You texted X?
Yes. We're meeting in the hall at 10pm.
I said Eun Ho will pay if he doesn't show,
so he will.
What is it? Is something wrong?
No.
You look disturbed. What is it?
What? Does my every expression worry you now?
Should we just not talk?
No.
I'm exhausted.
Go home and rest. You must be tired.
- What about you? - Me?
You sound like you have something to do.
What would I have to do?
Thinking about you?
I'm leaving.
Wait for me.
Come to the hall at 10pm.
Or Eun Ho will be hurt.
We finally meet.
There's no use in running.
I'm recording you here.
Why are you so surprised?
Don't tell me...
No way.
Are you kidding me?
Am I?
If people find out...
I was threatened by you to do things as Student X,
how do you think people will react?
What?
(Come to the hall at 10pm, or Eun Ho will get hurt.)
The location has changed.
It's not the hall. It's the music room.
(School 2017)
